Berlin puts hopes in Olympics: Athletes fight for medals
Community focus: Visible success of the German athletes
The Olympic Games in Paris not only offer a stage for the athletes, but also the community a reason for joy and pride. 428 German athletes are currently fighting for medals by August 11th. Numerous Berlin and Brandenburgers see themselves among the participating athletes, whose achievements are paid to great attention.
German hockey men are subject to the final
Tonight the German hockey men around Martin Zwicker (Berlin HC) had to accept the disappointing result of a 1: 3 defeat in penalty shootout against the Netherlands. It was already 1: 1 after a regular season. The important compensation of Thies Prince in the 50th minute did not bring the hoped -for gold win, but the team is now securing the silver medal after bronze in Rio 2016, which is still a significant success.
basketball: disappointment for the German men
The German basketball team, led by captain Dennis Schröder and the two Berlin brothers Franz and Moritz Wagner, has lost his semi-finals against the French team. With a final score of 69:73, they again experienced a setback in a big tournament. The current focus is on the game around the bronze medal on Saturday against one of the two remaining opponents.
Beach Volleyball: Ehlers/Wickler on a gold course
At the same time the beach volleyball duo Nils Ehlers and Clemens Wickler delights German fans. After their semi -finals against the Olympic champions from Norway, they have secured the final for gold and can strive for the first German Olympic trial in this discipline since 2016. The duo has won all games in Paris and thus creates new hopes for German beach volleyball.
Disappointment in other disciplines
while walking, the Potsdam Christopher Linke and Saskia Coward experienced a bitter disappointment, since despite a solid performance, they only took tenth place in the mixed relay. The performance of Emma Hinze in the Keirin competition was also not the hoped-for: she finished the final in fifth place and thus missed a medal. The same applies to her teammate Lea Sophie Friedrich, who even left in the semi -finals.
Success in canoe sports
The canoe teams show solid performances. So the women's team secured a silver medal in the kayak four-person with Pauline Jagsch. The male kayak fourth triumphed again and won the gold medal as in Tokyo. These continuous success in canoe sports strengthen trust in the future appearances of the German athletes in international competitions.
summary and look ahead
With a mix of disappointments and successes, German sport shows an overwhelming performance at the Olympic Games and offers both the athletes and the spectators new inspiration. The coming days promise further exciting competitions and the chance of further medals for the German team. The big goal remains to strengthen the Olympic spirit in the community and to deliver the best performance!
